Nickel Alloy Pipe Monel 400 Tube 1100°F In Nuclear Energy And Power Generation

Nickel Alloy pipe Monel 400 Tube 1100°F In Nuclear energy and power generation

Product Introduction

Monel 400 tube has important applications in the nuclear energy and power generation sectors, mainly due to its excellent corrosion resistance and high temperature performance. Monel 400 alloy is mainly composed of about 63% nickel and 28-34% copper, and also contains a small amount of iron, usually between 1% and 2%. This alloy performs well in a variety of corrosive media, including seawater, acids (such as sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid), alkaline solutions, and various corrosive gases. Its physical properties include density 8.8 g/cm³, melting point 1300°C to 1350°C, tensile strength of at least 450 MPa, yield strength of at least 170 MPa, and elongation of at least 30%. In the nuclear energy field, Monel 400 tube is widely used to manufacture heat exchangers and steam generators in nuclear power plants because it can withstand high temperatures and corrosive fluids, ensuring efficient heat transfer and long-term durability of the equipment. In the field of power generation, Monel 400 tube is suitable for manufacturing feedwater and steam generator pipes in power plants. Its excellent corrosion resistance and high temperature stability ensure the long-term stable operation of the pipes under harsh working conditions.
